In our fast-paced modern society, it's easy to be tempted to build impressive things for ourselves, striving for personal achievements and recognition. We can lose sight of the deeper, more meaningful purpose for our efforts. As Francis continues to speak on Ephesians, he explores what it means for us to be built into Christ's temple, with Him as the cornerstone, rather than standing alone in our pursuits.

Have you ever felt a lack of excitement or awe about what God has done for you? For those of us who have been following Christ for some time, this can be a common experience. Francis Chan invites us to meditate on God’s incredible grace that takes us from being dead in our sins to being seated with Christ.

When you hear someone preach a powerful message, what is it that moves you? The personality of the speaker? Or maybe the illustrations or stories that were told?

For many of us that have grown up in the church, it’s easy to have all the right answers when it comes to our faith.

We live in a culture that is filled with distractions and constant stimulation, and it’s easy to grow numb to the things that truly matter. In this week’s teaching, Francis Chan shares about the loss of a personal mentor and the importance of living a simple life with a heart that beats for the things of God.

Many of us were brought up with a mindset that says, “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” But that mentality can also impact the way we read scripture.

If you’re being honest, how much of your life do you prefer to have control? Most of us would probably say a good portion. In this week’s teaching, Francis Chan reminds us of the plan that God put into motion before the foundation of the world and how He chose us to be the objects of His grace.

If someone were to ask you, “How has the Lord blessed you?” what would be your first response? In this week’s episode, Francis Chan continues walking through the book of Ephesians, urging us to value God’s ultimate gift - Jesus Christ, the Beloved - above all other blessings.
